Randy Travis Collaborators Talk Using AI to Give Singer His ‘Voice Back’ on First Single Since 2013 Stroke


Randy Travis producer tells CBS about using artificial intelligence to recreate the singer's voice on first new song since his 2013 stroke.

In an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning ‘s Lee Cowan slated to air this weekend Travis’ longtime producer describes how the singer’s team constructed the track using artificial intelligence in the wake of the near-fatal 2013 stroke that took away the Grammy-winning country star’s voice. Cowan also observed the moment when Travis’ fellow country music friends and family heard the song for the first time, with stepdaughter Cavanaugh Mauch commenting, “It’s so weird to try and explain everything that goes through your head when you’re listening to it.” Travis — who was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016 — has also released a trio of albums post-stroke, including two volumes of covers, Influence Vol.
